Daleks set for big role in series seven of Doctor Who

Matt Smith’s Time Lord looks set to battle a host of Daleks when series seven of Doctor Who airs later this year.

The BBC unveiled a trailer set in the Wild West earlier in the week and it featured a brief glimpse of a Dalek.

It has now released some teaser photos from the set of the sci-fi show, which appear to be of a number of different incarnations of the Doctor’s notorious adversaries.

They were accompanied by the message: ‘Not much had been confirmed about the Doctor’s forthcoming adventures but we think it’s safe to say we can expect to see the return of perhaps the Doctor’s most legendary foe.

‘Here are some sneaky pictures fresh from the set of Doctor Who where the Daleks are being wheeled before the cameras once again. But which design? The answer is ALL OF THEM!’

Davros’s creations last played a major role in Doctor Who in 2010’s Victory of the Daleks episode.

They made only a cameo appearance in season six, as writer and producer Steven Moffat thought they had featured too often since the show’s revival in 2005.
